Hey everyone, I apologize for updating a week late but there is a reason for this, my laptop broke down and I didn't have backups so I had to rewrite everything by memory. Anyways, I hope you'll like this chapter it is rather long. For the people that are interested to know, I think that there will be a baby in the future of the story since many of you were quite excited about the idea. If my counting is correct the current votes are: baby boy [4] -baby girl [2]
As for your reviews: (Thank you so much for reviewing)
ladyres: I'm happy that you agree with the storyline. Something in Katelyn has clearly shifted, she has matured a little and is no longer scared of expressing her thoughts, even thoughsometimes they are a bit harsh (but she does have a wolf gene so I thought including a little rage wouldn't hurt.)
AmberRose39: Thank you for your review, any suggestions on names for a baby boy? I'm making a list :)
WickedlyMinx: I put it on the list, sounds good, Hunter Mikaelson, thanks for your review!
Geminigurl89: Ahhw I love Linnea, my baby niece is called Linnea it is such a pretty and unique name. (especially in the USA). I put both of the names on the list, thank you for your review.
Musicluver246: I'm so sorry for not updating sooner, it wasn't because I didn't want to but my laptop broke down and I lost all my documents. Anyways, I hope you'll like this chapter.
Kitsune-miko-witch: Thank you so much! I am definitely considering to relate the baby's name to names in either Klaus's or Katelyn's family, whether it be the baby's first or middle name. Henrik or maybe even something like Elias (from Elijah) and if it is to be a girl I was thinking about a name from Katelyn's side of the family.
Guest 1: I do believe that Katelyn would have a very hard time accepting Hayley's pregnancy and I therefor am quite sure to tell you that there will not be a Hayley/Klaus thing in this story.
Anna.B: Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write such an elaborate review! (I'm honoured, really Thank you) I added your baby name suggestions to the list. I used some of the critique in your review in this chapter and for the storyline (the sweet moments/friendship part) I hope you'll like it. I too am excited for season 4, once again thank you for the review!
Guest 2: Ahw, thank you. I am trying to accomplish an OC that loves Klaus in an inexplicable way and tries to live with him, break through his wall but at the same time won't just blink or look away and accept his actions. I think she won't completely be able to change Klaus (and let's be honest who wants that, Klaus is just Klaus) but she will be able to influence him on some fields.
Chapter 21:
"So let me get this straight, you were together with Klaus but then he compelled you to go to Italy and forget that you two were a thing?" Caroline and Katelyn were on their way over to mystic falls high school.
"Uh yep that pretty much sums it up." Caroline took a deep breath, thinking about how to ask the next question. She looked at her best friend.
"Do you still have feelings for him? Because you know that Damon and Stefan still might kill him if he's not our sire." Katelyn growled softly.
"Let's not pretend that you didn't hear that conversation between me and my grandma before you…" She looked at Caroline "you know, knocked me out." Caroline's cheeks got redder and redder.
"I told you I was sorry! I was trying to protect you, I know what happens with people that get to involved in this life…..I just don't want to see you die."
"Fine….I forgive you but don't ever do that again. I can't be friends with people I don't trust" Caroline grabbed Kat's hand and squeezed it a little.
"So, tell me….do you love him, Klaus?" Katelyn was quiet for a bit.
"Yes…I love him but I'm not sure if I am still in love with him. He was so different when were together, before everything. He let me in. There are two sides to Klaus and unfortunately his bad side has been present a lot." There was a short pause and a sigh.
"My mind tells me to let him go, to not fight for what is inside him because chances are that he'll never give into that tiny part of him that is buried so deep. That the love inside him will never defeat the monster that he has learned to be but sometimes when I look into his eyes I see his true soul. But I'm not ready to be in a relationship if that's what you are asking. " Caroline saw Katelyn's gaze harden. "and Klaus is not getting killed, that would mean that Tyler would die and I swear that I will end both Salvatores if they so much as make a move that could lead to my brother's death."
Caroline bit her lip. "Yeah about that…Stefan told me what you said the other night at Klaus's mansion."
Katelyn grinned "Let me guess he wasn't happy about it?"
"Not really but he did understand why you were seeing it like that. Damon hates your guts though." It made Katelyn chuckle a little sarcastically and she snorted.
"Of course he does that's because he's a prejudiced, self-centred dick that is in love with a girl he can't have but is obsessed with. I mean, I said something bad about THE precious Elena, which is unforgivable" She glimpsed over at Caroline who grimaced and looked away a displeased.
"Do you think I'm wrong Caroline? Do you think that what Elena is doing is fair? Don't you understand why I am angry that all these people have died either as a direct or indirect result of the love triangle that is Elena, Damon and Stefan . I'm sorry but I refuse to see you or any of the other people I love get hurt for Elena's benefit."
"No Katie I don't think you are wrong and I don't think it is fair of Elena to be involved with both Salvatores but she can't help it. Come on Katelyn is Elena no longer your friend? Don't you love her….because I know I do and I don't want her to die." Katelyn shook her head.
"She is no longer the friend that I loved like a sister, she has changed. I still wouldn't want Elena to die, I'd give a lot to save her but I would never choose to let several other people that I care about die or hurt in her place. I mean if you had to choose between me or Elena who would you choose to save?" Caroline looked shocked and even disgusted with her question.
"That's a stupid question! I don't know who we all grew up together! I just wouldn't make the choice, I'd rather die trying to save you both." Katelyn nodded it was the answer she expected.
"Exactly!" Caroline was surprised that her friend was happy with that answer. "You wouldn't let me die in your or Elena's place but the Salvatores would, Damon would, without a doubt we'd just be collateral damage."
"Yeah and what about Elena! How is this her fault?" Caroline didn't understand.
"Because Caroline! It is selfish to let all those people die in your place! She whines about it, she is sad about the deaths but she never stands up to do something about it. I would've sacrificed myself for any of my friends but no she lets people die and she gets to live EVERY FUCKING TIME! Elena is Katherine 2.0 but at least Katherine never tried to hide being a selfish little slut whereas Elena pulls the innocent act…"
Caroline's jaw dropped "Wow! That is NOT fair…. Elena has tried to sacrifice herself." Katelyn clasped the wheel trying not the freak out, keeping back the impressive line of Italian and English curse words coursing through her brain.
"Has she? Has she really? If she had really wanted to sacrifice herself, it would've worked by now. It can't be that hard, make a deal with Klaus give him a bag of blood every month or so and in return he'll leave mystic falls and leave all of us alone" Katelyn calmed herself down when she saw Caroline flinch a little.
"I'm sorry….all I meant to say that night was that I'm done being in the middle of this. I've tried to be friendly even to Damon, I tried to overlook the fact that they Killed my uncle but I get nothing in return….except for a bunch of lies and broken promises"
They arrived at the high school and Katelyn got out of the car and walked over to Care to give her a hug. "I never meant to hurt you Care, what I said that night doesn't apply to you…I would never leave you, you're my best friend and I know in your own weirdo way you thought you were looking out for me when you hit me with… well whatever it was" The blonde hugged her back.
They smiled at each other and exchanged looks when they walked into the cafeteria.
Just like they both expected, they walked in on the students preparing for the decade dance not the 70s but the 20s the way Rebekah had wanted to be. The energetic blonde original spotted them and walked over to Caroline and Katelyn with her signature smirk.
"Ah good, you're here. I need help setting up the tables so, get to it." Katelyn kept her cool even though she wanted to laugh when she saw Caroline get into her bitch mode. "What do you think you're doing."
Rebekah looked around a bit. "Somebody has to be in charge."
Caroline glared at her a little and cocked an eyebrow. "Yeah, me. I'm the chair of the dance committee. The theme of the decade dance is the 1970s" Matt walked over to the trio seeing Caroline and Rebekah's stance and stood next to Katelyn.
"So you'd rather dress in tacky colours with bad hair than be a classic flapper from the jazz age?" Suddenly Rebekah looked right into Katelyn's eyes. "Honestly I don't understand why you two are best friends." Of course Rebekah would say that Katelyn realized how much Caroline and Rebekah were alike sometimes. Both blondes were dramatic, energetic and they could be total mean girls.
"Maybe she's friends with me because I'm independent, have self-respect and don't sleep with everyone I make eye contact with." Matt looked at the three girls and decided to try and make peace and avoid a catfight.
"Maybe we can do both decades." Katelyn chuckled at that sweet idea and knew that wasn't going to happen.
"No!" Rebekah and Caroline yelled in sync and stared at him as if he was insane. Rebekah looked at Katelyn again.
"Come on Katelyn, don't stay neutral on this one….surely you agree that the 20s are just more classy and fun."
She wasn't lying if she agreed with Rebekah, she liked the twenties better. "I agree, the 20's idea do sound like a lot of fun."
Caroline whipped her head around dramatically "Traitor!" Matt nudged Katelyn's shoulder and didn't understand why she wasn't backing up Caroline.
"Bell bottoms and disco? I don't know Care, this just seemed cooler." Katelyn continued making Rebekah smile widely and her eyes spoke a quiet thank you at the brunette.
"I completely understand why my brother fell for you" Rebekah said to Katelyn and then wryly smiled at Caroline mimicking Katelyn's words "See Caroline it's just cooler." It sounded a bit funny with her British accent.
Caroline pointedly glared at Katelyn and spoke with a bitter tone. "Thanks Kat for being such a great friend. You know what have fun at your stupid dance." Rebekah's smile widened when the other blonde stomped away. Katelyn shook her head a little, winked at Rebekah and then ran after Caroline.
"Caroline! Wait!" She yelled to loudly as she ran out of the building. They reached the car and Caroline started the engine to make sure that Rebekah wouldn't hear.
They girls giggled at each other. "Well I think we totally sold it." Caroline had a huge smile plastered on her face.
"Yep, you know this 20s dance I not such a bad idea, the dresses were cute and the music was fun so…" Caroline rolled her eyes back.
"Matt and I will keep Rebekah and if necessary Klaus occupied, you go have fun with my brother and do things that I really don't want to know about. Just tell him I said hi, and hope that he'll come home soon and that I miss him." Caroline hugged her best friend.
"Katie are you sure you don't want to come along. I'm sure he missed you"
"What and be the third wheel and watch you two getting all mushy! Thanks but I think I'll pass…just go!" Caroline beamed and got in the car and drove off.
Katelyn had been helping out all morning and everyone decided to take the afternoon of. She walked over to Matt and saw Rebekah staring at him from a distance. She had completely forgotten Rebekah's crush on Matt and figured that they'd be cute together.
"Hey Matt" Matt looked at her a bit worried.
"Kates, did you make up with Caroline?" He was the sweetest guy she ever knew, such a good heart Katelyn thought.
"Yeah, yeah we did but she still didn't want to help so she probably went home watching dancing with the stars, you know… she's obsessed with the show." She knew Rebekah was listening in on the conversations.
"So Matty, do you have a date for the dance?" Matt looked at her intrigued why she had asked that question.
"Nope, you offering?" She stole a glance at Rebekah and saw her look a little disappointed.
"I'm sorry I can't I already have a date." She hated to come up with white lies but this was for a good cause. "But I know someone who would certainly agree if you'd ask her." She turned her head over to Rebekah and Matt followed her gaze. A slight pinkish colour settled high on Rebekah's cheeks and the girl quickly pretended to be busy.
"I…I don't think that is such a great idea Kat" She pouted a little.
"What…why not? She's been nothing but kind to you Matt?" Matt frowned.
"Her brother almost broke my hand when I was with her on the night of the ball." Katelyn stifled a laugh, typical Kol move.
"That was hardly her fault and Kol isn't in town anymore. I wish you'd reconsider. At least be the gentleman you always are and give her a ride home, I noticed that she didn't come by car." Matt agreed and didn't see any danger in it.
"Well lets go then." He expected Katelyn to follow because he was supposed to give her a ride after Caroline had used bailed.
"Ohw no I'm not coming. I uh I need some exercise so I'm gonna go running. I have my workout clothes in my locker." Well aren't you the little matchmaker she thought to herself but felt a little sorry for forcing Matt to spend some alone time with Rebekah.
Katelyn had jogged all the way from mystic falls high school to the Salvatore boarding house. She was curious if there had been a break through with Ric and wanted to know if he was doing alright.
Before she went down to the cellar she wanted to look decent which she didn't after such an intensive run. She went up to one of the guest rooms and walked into its bathroom. She freshened up a little, used some deodorant and took her hair out of the tight ponytail. She ran her hands through her sweaty hair threw her head upside down and looked at the result. It wasn't too bad a little curly and a little wild but it would have to suffice.
Katelyn skipped down the stairs, through the living room and over to the door that led to the stairs to the cellar. She reached out to open it when it suddenly was thrown open from the other side and slammed into her making her stubble back with a load groan. The other person used his or her vampire speed and was already half way through the front door before turning.
"Katalyna….my apologies" Her eyes fluttered open hearing how close the familiar voice was and she was taken off guard when she saw Klaus looking down at her. His blue eyes seemed to be examining her for any serious damage.
She dropped her hand from the painful spot on her head that she was rubbing. "I was expecting that you wouldn't much like me after what I said but a door in the face is a bit over the top." It was the first time they had seen each other after her little outburst at his mansion. It surprised Katelyn when his lips tugged into a crooked smile, showing of the dimples that she was so fond of.
"On the contrary love, I thought it was quite astonishing how you voiced your thoughts so decidedly." A second later the smile dropped and his voice was low. "I find your new disdain for all of us rather refreshing" He turned on his heel and made to walk out but the sudden feeling of her hand gripping his made Klaus turn back to face her.
"Hey, listen I don't hate you…." Klaus's eyebrows pulled together ever so slightly and she continued. "I still believe that you are more than what you let others see. I know the man I once loved is still inside of you." she put her hand against his chest, over his heart.
When he had no reply and merely looked down at her hand and then back into her baby blue eyes she dropped her hand from his chest. "But seeing how unlikely it is that he is going to show, I'd like us to treat each other normally maybe even attempt to be friends….speaking of how's Alaric?" She knew Klaus had heard her proposal and had no desire to have a deep conversation about feelings. She therefor quickly deflected and Klaus understood her as he only answered her question.
"He's not conscious at the moment." Klaus tried to avoid the details but she heard the hint of mischief in his voice and knew that he had done something.
"I see, may I ask how that happened?" She crossed her arms on her chest and leaned against a wall.
This time Klaus got a boyish smirk on his face. "I snapped his neck, to see if his dark side would come out and play after being killed."
"Of course you did." She couldn't help but smile a little at his cute facial expression.
"Well, I should be on my way I have many things to arrange." Klaus looked her over one more time, the tight workout clothes on her beautifully shaped body made his heart beat a little faster.
"Yeah uh me too, I'm going to go check on Alaric, make sure you didn't snap his head so hard that his bones are misplaced." She replied quickly and Klaus turned around and rushed out of the house.
"Katelyn, are we ever going to speak again? Or were you planning to just ignore me and Damon forever." She looked up from the novel that she had been reading for the past three hours and into Stefan's questioning hazel eyes.
"I wasn't aware that we were on speaking terms. I figured, after what I said you'd hate me." Stefan smiled softly.
"Nah I don't hate you. It really surprised me what you said that but I know that you were just trying to protect the people that you love. Don't take me wrong I still want Klaus out of our lives but I promise you that we won't kill him because that would mean your brother dies."
She cocked an eyebrow at the tone in his voice, was he really expecting a thank you "I see that you expect me to be grateful for that?" She noticed that she was a bit grumpy and decided to blame it on lack of food. "Is it okay if I head upstairs and make myself some dinner?"
"Yeah sure go ahead. I'll let you know if you're needed." Katelyn quickly looked at Alaric's body and then headed upstairs.
She had just finished her spaghetti and was doing the dishes when there was a loud crash from the cellar and it was followed by raised voices. Expecting the worst she darted down the stairs whilst hearing Alaric and Stefan fight.
"You're not putting enough into this." Alaric said panting and hissing in pain.
"If I put any more into it, I'm gonna break your spine." Stefan replied out of breath and Katelyn ran into the cell right at the moment that Stefan hit Alaric hard.
"Ric!" Katelyn pushed Stefan out of the way and ran to Alaric who was on the floor with blood dripping from his mouth. "What the hell is going on?"
"Katelyn… it's okay, this is all part of the plan. My alter ego is hiding inside me and he will only take over if he believes that I'm truly dying." Katelyn bit her lip thinking of a plan.
"No, not like this. Let me try with my magic. I can lure him out without doing damage to you." Stefan agreed immediately and she never gave Alaric time to be recalcitrant. Putting her hands on either side of his head she started to chant.
Both Katelyn and Stefan noticed something in Ric's eyes change. Alaric began to laugh lowly looking at her with a disapproving, hateful stare. "You are pathetic….thinking you can save them. You don't deserve the power that you have, you don't even use it properly" She knew this was his alter ego.
"hmmm well, I guess I should put it to proper use now." She grabbed Ric's head and started to search his mind. Ric tried to push her off of him but she was using her magic to control his movements whilst searching his mind. When she saw where he had hidden the stake she let go of his mind and the connection and therefor the spell broke. She smirked and for a moment forgot how dangerous evil Alaric was. He took the opportunity, grabbing her harshly and slamming her into the stone wall of the cell backwards.
"Ahh shit! That hurt you son of a…." Katelyn swallowed her words knowing this wasn't really Alaric. She looked at him angrily and used her magic to weaken him until he was lying on the floor and he blacked out. She turned towards Stefan.
"I know where the stake is, stay with Ric till he wakes up, it'll be like a couple of minutes." Stefan wanted to see if she was injured but she swatted him away an walked out of the cellar.
"Still here love?" Klaus heard her walk into the living room. She walked a little closer and his senses picked up the smell of blood. He quickly set the glass of bourbon down and sped over in front of her. "You are bleeding." He tried to find the source of blood but couldn't see any wounds.
Katelyn looked up at him with a sour face and her hand moved to the back of her head, where she felt a stinging pain. She moved her hand through her brunette curls and when she retreated it there was a clear red coat of blood on it. "huh I guess I am." She shrugged dismissing the blood or the injury and it bothered Klaus that she wanted to walk out of the house.
"Where are you going?" He demanded trying to block her path.
"I'm going to get that stake, I know where he hid it and I want all of this to be over as soon as possible"
"No you are not." Katelyn stepped to the side to move past Klaus but he stepped at the same time. He admired her for her persistence but her stubbornness annoyed him at times, especially if she was neglecting her own well-being.
"Klaus, he hid it in the cave...you know, the one that no vampire can enter. The bleeding will probably stop on the way there and otherwise I'll take care of it when I get home" She unconsciously rubbed the back of her head again and Klaus narrowed his eyes when he saw that there was fresh coat of blood on it.
Rebekah walked into the house and looked at the duo. Klaus smirked happily at her arrival. "Sister your timing is impeccable." He turned to look at Katelyn with a stern expression plastered on his face. "Rebekah will take the teacher to fetch the stake and I will take you to the hospital." Katelyn frowned.
"Hospital? I don't need to go to the hospital, I'm fine; I'll stitch it up myself." Klaus already had a hand on the small of her back. When they passed Rebekah Katelyn noticed that something was different about the blonde and an uncomfortable feeling of dread settled in her stomach. Unconsciously seeking a little comfort and reassurance she leaned back into Klaus's arm.
"I suggest you let me take you to see a doctor otherwise I feel obliged to feed you my blood and I know how much you would hate that." She pouted at him but didn't struggle as he helped her into his car and they drove off.
Katelyn was sitting in a hospital room waiting for the doctor to come in. The pit in her stomach was still present and she was nervous about what was going on with Rebekah. Being a witch she knew that her gut feelings were almost always right and she did not particularly like that idea at the moment.
Klaus noticed her fidgeting and biting her lip. He tried to ignore it whilst he sat on a chair in a corner of the room but when she started tapping her fingers on the bed he walked over to her. "Alright what is occupying you mind?" He hopped onto the bed and sitting next to her.
"Nothing." She answered too quickly and he eyed her knowingly. He had spent hours of studying her over the past year and it worried him when she kept things to herself.
"You do know I can hear your heartbeat raising" She pursed her lips. Klaus knew that he wasn't going to get her to talk and decided to play it of as a joke, for now.
"Are you afraid of the doctor love? The offer of my blood still stands." She squinted her nose and he put his hand on her knee, the touch calmed her a little and she put her hand on his with her small fingers curling around his rough, strong hand. There was a moment of soothing silence between them.
Then the door opened and in walked a young doctor, a little over twenty with a friendly smile, short black, curly hair and greenish eyes. "Miss Katelyn Lockwood?" The young man shook her hand.
"Yep that's me." She answered and Klaus stood up from the bed resting a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. He heard me yesterday night and this afternoon, he is showing me his compassionate side again She thought and for the first time in a long time her eyes sparkled when she gave Klaus a genuine smile. He dipped his chin a little in a slight nod before he took one look at the doctor. Once he was convinced that there was no potential harm he walked to the door to leave.
"No don't go!" Katelyn squeaked and she scolded herself for sounding like a panicking 6 year old. There were only a few times that she was scared but she really didn't want to be alone with this bad feeling, even if there was no direct threat. When she saw Klaus's head whip around his face, wide eyed and wary she felt even more ashamed of her behaviour.
"Sorry, if there is a place you have to be you should go, it's okay" Klaus narrowed his eyes at her again, not sure what she was feeling but he couldn't bring himself to walk out of the door and leave her. Something was clearly upsetting her so he leaned against the far wall and kept watch.
The doctor looked between his patient and the dirty blonde man in the room. "You don't need to be nervous it will all be okay." He thought that hospitals freaked the girl out, not a very uncommon occurrence.
"It says here that you have a lesion in your head?"
She brought her hand to the back of her head and the doctor walked around her and noticed that she tensed a little as his hand brushed away the hair around the wound. "Well it certainly is a shame to see such a pretty head injured." Klaus's eyes squinted when he saw a slight blush creep onto Katelyn's cheeks.
The doctor started to apply the stitches but kept her distracted by talking to her. Klaus crossed his arms trying his hardest not to kill the other male in the room when he noticed the way that the man was looking at Katelyn. "so how did you end up with a head gash?" Katelyn giggled trying to think of a valid reason.
"I'm a little clumsy, let's just say I tripped and fell backwards into a wall." If only he knew what really happened. The doctor was done with the stitches and walked through the room grabbing a small flash light and got in front of her. He put his fingers under her chin and lifted her head a little. His fingers stayed under her chin as he shone the flashlight in her blue eyes and Katelyn swore that she could hear Niklaus growl.
"Did you feel nauseous or dizzy?" He clicked the light off.
"Nope, I didn't even think about coming to the hospital in the first place. I was sure that I'd be able to take care of the wound myself." She could hear Klaus scoff but couldn't hear the words he muttered under his breath. The doctor smiled at her and his eyes gleamed a little.
"Well, I am happy that you came, It is not every day that I get to take care of such a pretty patient." Katelyn's cheeks flushed a deep red but she saw Klaus glaring daggers into the back of the doctor and she began to fear for the poor man's life. You are walking a thin line there buddy. Her thoughts were confirmed when she saw Klaus's eyes changing from blue to a beautiful goldish hybrid eyes.
The doctor was oblivious to the danger as he finished the tests and mentioned to her that it was alright to get up. He flashed a charming smile while offering his hand and helping her to her feet. Katelyn knew that she had to act quickly to prevent this man from dying.
She thanked him before walking over to Klaus with her lips tugged into a smug grin. "See babe, I told you that it was nothing serious" wow that sounds weird to be referring to Klaus like that. She thought to herself whilst entwining their fingers. Klaus's eyes snapped back to blue when she squeezed his hand a little. The young doctor looked at the duo a little confused and disappointed and Katelyn knew that he never thought of them of a couple, which they weren't but she knew by the way Klaus was acting that he still harboured some feelings other than friendship.
Klaus had been shocked when she grabbed his hand acting like they were a couple but he smirked obnoxiously and was determined to show the doctor that Katelyn was not an option. He leaned down cupping her cheek. "I know love, I just needed to be reassured that my beautiful girl was alright." He pressed a kiss to her forehead and possessively slung his arm around her shoulders. Klaus cleared his throat and looked at the doctor hinting that he wanted to leave.
The doctor saw the almost threatening eyes and quickly spoke "You are free to go but do return if you start to feel any complaints." Klaus kept his arm around her as they walked pass the doctor and his intimidating glare did not go unnoticed by Katelyn.
When they stepped outside there was a cold breeze and Katelyn leaned a little into Klaus's side shivering since she was only wearing a shirt and shorts. Klaus noticed and let go of her giving her his jacket.
He opened the door to the passenger seat and she got into the car, when he climbed behind the wheel she seemed to be in a fit of giggles. Klaus smiled amused at the silly sound erupting from the girl next to him. "What?" He asked and she cradled her ribs trying to breathe through her laughing.
"It's actually not that funny but Oh my god, I was so sure that you would rip out his jugular…" Klaus cocked his eyebrow. "You should have seen the look on your face when that doctor complimented me. You know you're absolutely adorable when you're jealous."
"Katelyn, I am not….nor will I ever be adorable." Klaus said and started driving. He drove her to the Lockwood estate and came to a stop in front of the door.
"Hey, thank you…for staying with me tonight, at the hospital"
Klaus smiled at her and she saw a spark of softness in his deep blue eyes. "I believe that is what friends do." Katelyn was quiet for a bit debating whether or not to ask the next question but she couldn't help it.
"Rebekah mentioned something about you two leaving town…When are you?" She feared that the originals would be gone for a long time and maybe not return to mystic falls in her lifetime.
"Probably tomorrow morning, as soon as Rebekah retrieves the stake." She forced back the sadness and lump in her throat.
"That soon?" She suddenly realized something and chuckled. "Trust me, you won't be gone until after tomorrow night."
"and why would that be?"
"Because the decade dance is tomorrow." Katelyn knew that Rebekah had put too much time into it to just walk away before having fun.
Klaus rolled his eyes knowing exactly what the brunette next to him was thinking. "You know me well enough to know that I will not let my sister's dance fantasy influence my better judgement. She will have to miss this dance, she is immortal there will be plenty of other opportunities."
Katelyn had to try and convince Klaus to come, she didn't like the feeling that she got being around Rebekah tonight. She just needed to know that the blonde would be alright.
"Please just let her come, come with her….make this party your farewell. We are doing the twenties wasn't that like your favourite decade of the 20thcentury?" Klaus sighed , he had no desire to go to a high school dance but she was asking him….that had to count for something.
"I will not promise that we will be there but we will see." She knew that his words clearly indicated that it was still improbable that they would show up and that this might be the last time she would see him.
"Well, if you don't come than this is goodbye." There was a short silence before Katelyn spoke again.
"Klaus, I want you to know that I will never be sorry that I met you and loved you. If I won't see you again, tell Rebekah I will miss her and that I'll text her and do my best to Kol and Elijah when you see them again. I hope you will find what you are looking for, wherever you are going. Oh and don't be a stranger, if you ever feel like visiting the door will be open." Klaus smiled slightly and leaned in to give her a kiss on her cheek. Her stomach twisted as she stepped out of the car.
Better to part as friends then to fight as lovers Katelyn thought when she met the blue eyes of the dirty blonde hybrid. She waved a little when she heard the engine roar and saw Klaus drive out of the parking lot and maybe out of her life.
So, I'm going to leave these questions up for a few chapters, I'd really like you input on them (for the people that already answered them, thank you)
-Would you or would you not like to see Katelyn pregnant with Klaus's child?
-If so would you like to see this scenario (partially) take place in New Orleans since I made sure that I already have a storyline there…
I know it is really early to start asking you this but it's mainly for inspiration:
If she will have his baby, what would you like the gender to be and feel free to start suggesting baby names, I'll make a list of them and then I'll pick my favourite(s)
Thank you so much for reading and following! Please review
